With Matt Cassel sidelined by a concussion, the Kansas City Chiefs will start Brady Quinn against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Quinn will be making his first NFL start since a Dec. 20, 2009 game against the Chiefs where he passed for 66 yards and was intercepted twice.
In addition to Cassel, other notable names who will be either at home or modeling Nike and New Era sideline apparel are Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Anthony Spencer, Baltimore Ravens left guard Ramon Harewood and Cincinnati Bengals first round cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. The Cleveland Browns will be without defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin and linebacker Scott Fujita, while the Miami Dolphins have opted to not dress veteran wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, who they signed to replace Legedu Naanee.
Sunday will mark the 2012 debuts of a pair of safeties. Louis Delmas will add much-needed leadership and play-making ability to the back end of the Detroit Lions secondary, while the Chiefs will have Kendrick Lewis for the first time this season.
